let's take a look at this scene from chapter 150 😁
despite her shows of vanity (a whole nother can of worms), eunyung struggles to accept compliments from haejoon, especially as they relate to her personal growth. she doesn't see making her own money and repaying her debts as praiseworthy because the circumstances surrounding her employment feel underhanded. her obfuscation is also part of that lack of personal development in her mind. it's hard for eunyung to recognize her growth because it's been drilled into her that she's incapable of it!!!
